3. |The Meeting|
Ruhana ends up telling Vineet that the meeting he is attending at 1PM is with her company. Vineet is surprised while Ruhana smiles at him.
"You're amazing Ruhana. You always aspired to be a businesswoman. And today you did it. Your company is new in the industry but I know, you will reach heights in a short span of time. I always knew, you'll do something big. And I am surprised." he says.
She looks up at him in surprise.. Yeah! Since childhood, he always praises her even if she did a small good thing. And today too, even after meeting after so many years, he isn't changed. He is praising her again.
" Aaj tak toh main ye sochta tha ki I have struggled and only I can give surprises. But Ruhana!! You have left me awestruck. Maine socha hi nahi tha ki main yun tumse dobara mil bhi paunga. But you're giving surprises on surprises." he says holding her hand.
Ruhana smiles at him. She is happy to hear him after a long time. Having him by her side and letting him pour his emotions in his words, it's a blessing, truly.
" You're too sweet. And when you praise me, I wish to do more. Jab mujhe pata chala ki tum tenders sign kar rahe ho, tabhi maine meri company ki taraf se tneder file kar diya tha. I wanted to surprise you. Aur tumhare sath kaam karne ka sapna bhi toh hai. Par ye pata nahi tha ki yeh sab itna jaldi ho jayega aur hum yun milenge. " She says.
" We'll make memories, Ruhana. And business, I am sure, if we will work together, we'll do wonders. " he says confidently and leads her way out of the restaurant.
He checks his watch. It's close to 1. They should not delay the meeting, even if it is with your best friends. Professional and personal things should be differed and should be treated differently. They sit for the meeting. Ruhana starts the meeting and Vineet is quite impressed. She has grown up to one fine, beautiful and confident young woman. Seeing her after many years makes him nostalgic, but he is proud to see her journey. She has emerged into a successful businesswoman. His trance is broken as she ends her statement. He has been listening to her and he stands up at his place and claps for her. The other people notice him and reciprocate the action.
"This is the best strategy, Miss Malhotra. I'm quite impressed. I want this work to begin soon. This will surely be a success." he says.
She beams with joy and they sign the deal. The other people of Vineet's team leave the room and Ruhana hugs him out of excitement.
" I'm so glad! Thank you Vineet. " She says in the hug.
" Yeah! But you need to give me a treat. " Vineet says.
Ruhana giggles.
" sure shot! But before that I need to go meet my estate agent. I will be keeping a house warming party and you're the special guest. So be there " she says.
Vineet agrees to Ruhana and then Ruhana takes her leave. She has to buy a bungalow and some place to start her office in Mumbai. Vineet has already offered her help, and she knows when nothing will work, Vineet would surely help her. With all such thoughts, she leaves the office.
Vineet is sitting in the office and thinking about Ruhana. He is delighted to meet his old friend after a long time. She has emerged as a different individual. His trance is broken by his phone ring and he frowns upon seeing the caller. Still he picks the call And greets the caller. The caller says something that he frowns fiercely.
"How many times do I have to tell you, Abhilasha?? He is not the right guy. Why do you want our company to face a loss? Do you want to be deprived off your luxuries?" he shouts over the phone.
Yes, it's Abhilasha who is coaxing him to meet with some friend of hers. Vineet knows it's wrong, yet he is not able to explain things to her.
" Oh just shut up! When you don't know anything, don't speak.. This company is my hard work, not yours. Stop giving me advices." he says and disconnects the call.
He throws his phone on the floor out of frustration. A soft voice breaks his reverie.
"Itna gussa achcha nahi hota Vineet." it's Ruhana who enters inside.
"Ruhana tum? Kya hua?" he asks.
"actually main apni file lena bhul gayi. I guess it's mixed with yours. It has my other papers." She says.
Vineet gives her the file and she takes out her papers. She looks at him and asks him the reason of his anger as she hasn't seen him this angry. Maybe,he developed this trait over the years. He denies at first, but Ruhana keeps her hand on his shoulder and asks him again.
As they say, your words and actions have great power. Love always overpowers hate, and so forth, it happened here. Her warm touch, the softness in her voice led him speak the reason of his anger and Ruhana is left shocked to listen to him.
To Be Continued.
What leaves Ruhana shocked?
Stay tuned.
